These answers didn't solve the question. The question is "can I remove them" The answers were yes, but didn't give the commands to remove them. They only refer to computers terminals problems having installed them it cannot remove them? Then this is a bug or this question is unanswered.

I have the same problem-

I followed the prompts to apt-get purge then purge -f and got the following:

Is there an answer to removing the virtual packages so that another chrome package can be installed?

This isn't the original question; but, since he had tried and failed to resolve his problem of how to completely remove virtual packages, this is about the same.

I had already installed Aptitude and Aptitude's suggestion was removal of Chromium. Chromium is a Virtual package; and Aptitude removed Chromium and it's virtual remainder so I could reinstall.

So I would suggest installing Aptitude, and using Package Resolver by typing sudo aptitude into terminal, choosing Package Resolver>Remove>"package name".
